Kale, Onion, & Potato Pot Pies

For those of you not in the middle of a cleanse or New Year’s
diet, here’s the perfect January dish: Hot pot pies filled with hearty
vegetables, a creamy sauce, and topped with a flaky crust. It’s the kind of
comfort food that was created for cold days and suitable for all occasions
(because who doesn’t like pot pies?). I had an epiphany while making these and
realized that pot pies are one of those foods that can be made a million
different ways using whatever ingredients are in season or on hand, just like a
hash or fried rice. The kale, potatoes, and onions in this dish are perfect for
the dead of winter, but a summery version with corn and squash would be wonderful
come July.
